Tho wages eff sin.

The Sunday Star in speaking Of the
Wages OF SIM as produced at the Opera
House on Christmas afternoon and night
said The play is well knit, intensely sb-
sorhing, skillfully arranged melo-drama, de-
pending for effect not upon the adventitious
aids of tina carpenter and scene painters, but
upou its strong human interest, quick action
clever ciimaxes and genuine dramatic merit
The author, Frank Harvey, possesses rare
constructive skill and the facility for writing
telling dialogue. His characters are drawn
boldly and offer a variety of contrasts. The
situations are brought about cunningly and
without apparent design. After seeing it
we can easily understand why "The Wages
of Sim" which ia as powerful in its way as
''The Ticket-of-Leav man." has been repre-
sented continuously before the British pub
lie for the past three years. 1t contains all
the elements that commend play to the
popular taste. The story of the drama teach
es wholesome lesson and verifiss the Scrip,
tural warning which has been utilized in the
title.

'God bless that organization the whole

prayer, none do more to leaven society with
Christian temperance influences than they,

A SURGICAL FEAT.
Delicate Operation ON a Young Italia
W0man

Delicate Operation on a Young italian
Woman.
When suppuration originates from disease
of the bones in the kuee joint and has disor.
ganized the delicate lining membrane of the
JOINT, and the bones themselves have become
carious at their artisular surfaces, cure can
only be effected in two ways The first
praeticed by all surgeons lew years ago,
was the removal of the leg BY amputatiou !;
The other, which recent progress in surgical
science has suggested, is excision Of the joint.
Amputation is always attended with extra
great danger in cases of suppurative joint
diseases, and was seldom undertaken excep'
to safe life when from the great physical
strain, death seemed imminent.
Excision of the knee joint is an operation
that promises to damage the business of the
wooden-leg manufacturer When it was
proposed few years ago it met very great
opposition from surgeons who tried it with
out success, but all admitted that the opera
tion was not so much the cause of failure in
their cases as the after treatment. OF late
years the discovery Of antiseptic and of the
bloodless method Of operating in these cases
has changed all this, and patients who would
have lost their legs in the old manner are
now being treated successfully in the new
A case is now being treated by DR.. Nc Bur-
ney at Bellevue Hospital. The patient, a
girl aged about twenty, is an Italian, with
the face Of a Madonna. She was shown by
DR.. McBurney st his clinic Thursday. Shr
entered the hospital several weeks ago, ana
after treat ng her with view to improving
her general condition as much as possibl,
she was operated on. After being etherzed
her leg was rolled tightly within rubber
bandage, leaving the limb bloodless. An
incision was then made at the knee, and the
joint having been freely exposed by the di.
vision of the lateral ligaments the pattela,
or knee-pan, was removed. All the diseased
tissues were taken out anc the carious parts
of the bones cleaned away.
About an inch was sawed from the top Of
the tibia, or leg bone, and a like piece wa.
taken from the femur, or thigh bone. Both
bones were then placed with their cut end
together and nailed firmly in place with two
large silyer-plated spikes. The wound wa,
then closed and dressed antisepticaly and
the dressing was not removed until complete
union had taken place between the bones
fourweeks after the operation, when tn,
dressing was removed and the spikes wer,
withdrawn from the bone. The paten
showed great courage and stood th,
pain unanohingly. She has made rapid re
eovery and will leave the hospital in a few
| days.

Avoid Oniates.

The Mangacturer's Gazette we believe,
speaks candidy when it says that the in
creasing use Of opates and other drugs ID
tended to either aIlay or excite nervous &C.
tivity is an evil in this country equal to il
not worse than the excessive use of intoxca-
ting liquors. Comparatively little is said Of
it in public jurnals, and there is no such cru
sade against it as there is against intemper.
ance. The insidousness of 5he drug habit
makes it the more dangerous. The great
majority Of those who begin the use of OPT
um, morphine and chloral do it under pre-
scrption of physicians, and often without
being allowed to know what they are taking
until the habit is thoroughly fastened upon
them. Such trfling with life and health by
physicians should be made Grim nal offsnse
and it's victim OF his friends sh ould prosecute
for NAL practice to the full extent of the Law.
1t is a safe rule to take no medicines from
any excep, those known to te trustworthy
who refuses to inform patients of possible
danger from the drugs he may prescribe 50
many have been wrecked in this way that
the old secrecy about the composition ot
medicines is out Of place, at Iesst to the ex
tent of informing patients that they are tax.
ing nothing liable to bind them in the hope
less slavery of some drug habit.

Biahop Ames, of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, once delivered sermon i'll W ash-
ington in the presence of members of Con
gress, the President, and large number of
other Government officials, on the suljeet Of
amability iu business. His text related to
the personal characteristics of the prophet
Daniel, the leading characteristic of whom
was amiability of dtpoltruent, winning TO
Daniel by his traits nearly all with v HON Il,
came III c0u'act. From this starting 20 nj
the Bishop pTGceeded to sum up some OF the
observations OF his own long life, showing
how men of his acquaintal cr had suetett ed
in their several occupation, by the plaetice
OF habitual courtesy without iasinceltv, this
trait, of course, accompanied by honesty and
industry. "Othrr things being equal" said
the great preacher, always plefyr to buy
goods at the store from that clerk WHO las
fri ndly wold and kindly look Of recug-
milton. So, too, prefer 10 deal with Il at
busiless man who has pleasant dtmeaiOr,
and treats me like hlotter OtEer things
being equal, such clerk i.Ld such a baAi.
ness man will w,n where otheis of d iicrent
social qualities will fail"
The good Bishop long since passed to ii Ial
rest, but the lesson he sought to impress up
on the young, on the occasion Of which We
speak, is az important noa as it was then
and employer and employed in all branches
of trade aud industry could heed it with
profit ln politics, the lack of amiabi ty
has sent many candidate to the rear, aud

favor Of the public (and what business d ,es
